My favourite song by Leddra Chapman. It's originally performed on piano, but since I'm
not a pianist, here's a way to play it on guitar.
Much more simple than the original and probably not 100% correct, but it's somewhere to
start. Enjoy :)
CAPO 5
Intro:
(x2)
(Repeat during first verse (4x))
Meet me on the corner
I know you know I'm there
Where the traffic lights have fallen
From orange, green, to red
Pre-chorus:
[Cadd9] Let's stop, stand still now
Take my h[Em7]and
Let's escape as fast as we [Dsus4]can
Chorus:
I say let'[Em7#5]s run a[Gmaj]way, make[D5] all the p[Em7]apers
[Em7#5]Find a pl[Gmaj]ace with [D5]all the an[Em7]swers
But you [Cadd9]just, w[Dsus4]rap me up and[Em7] I forget
[Cadd9]Just w[Em7]rap me up and[Asus4/7] I forget
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/leddra_chapman/wrap_me_up_tab.html )
(x2)
(Repeat during second verse (4x))
Close your eyes and hold me
We'll find a house in Rome
Have a door with beaded curtains
And pictures on the wall
Pre-chorus:
[Cadd9] We'll change our names, and look out [Em7]there
To[Dsus4]rn up jeans, and braided hair
Chorus:
I say let'[Em7#5]s run a[Gmaj]way, make[D5] all the p[Em7]apers
[Em7#5]Find a pl[Gmaj]ace with [D5]all the an[Em7]swers
But you [Cadd9]just, w[Dsus4]rap me up and[Em7] I forget
[Cadd9]Just w[Em7]rap me up and[Asus4/7] I forget
(Piano solo)// Still trying to figure this out.
Chorus:
I say let'[Em7#5]s run a[Gmaj]way, make[D5] all the p[Em7]apers
[Em7#5]Find a pl[Gmaj]ace with [D5]all the an[Em7]swers
But you [Cadd9]just, you [Dsus4]wrap me up an[Em7]d I forget
[Cadd9] You [Dsus4]wrap me up and [Em7]I forget,
[Cadd9]Just w[Em7]rap me up and[Asus4/7] I forget...
